CABeug is a former company in Stralsund , whose business area included a brown beer brewery , the trade in grain , coal , iron , fuel oil and the manufacture of agricultural machinery and which was one of the largest shipping companies in Prussia in the second half of the 19th century .
history
Jacob Carl August Beug, born on June 6, 1816 in Barth , initially went to sea like his ancestors and later learned to trade. He founded the company on May 5, 1843 at Stralsund's Heilgeiststrasse No. 57.
After moving to Stralsund, he acquired the business founded in 1817 by his father-in-law, Johann Carl Martin Rodbertus, a grain trade, brown beer brewery and malt house, and expanded the grain trade to include a shipping company and the trade in coal and iron. The young entrepreneur managed to make a name for himself as a correspondent shipping company in the first few years . In the middle of the 19th century, and especially after the German War (1866) and the Franco-German War (1870/1871), shipping flourished throughout Prussia. Stralsund ships used routes between New York and Singapore . However, the company CABeug missed the transition to steamship shipping .
Carl August Beug, the founder's son, was born in Stralsund in 1854. He expanded the trade in English coal and iron and acquired the property at Hafenstrasse 13 . In 1874, after Stralsund was de-fortified, he had a harbor warehouse built there, the first stone building on the harbor islands that were not built up until the 1860s.
The purchase of the two large estates Klein Miltzow (277 hectares) in 1878 and later the manor Udars-Lehsten with shares in Seehof and Schaprode on Rügen aroused the interest of the founder and his son Carl August in the manufacture of agricultural machinery after the decline in shipping business. In 1891, after the bankruptcy of Maurer's iron foundry and machine factory built in 1872, this property on Greifswalder Chaussee , near the gas works, was acquired. This factory was rebuilt and expanded to manufacture agricultural machinery.
After the founder's death, the management of the company was taken over by the brothers Gerd Beug and Karl Friedrich Beug .
The First World War hampered development. In May 1918, on the company's 75th anniversary, the workforce at the machine factory was around 70 employees. In the years that followed, the company was hit by further tremors and economic hardship due to inflation, unemployment and agricultural debt. After a few years of the upswing caused by the Second World War , the end of the company CABeug began in 1945. In March 1948, the entire company was confiscated under Order 124 of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany .
Of all the Beugs' operating buildings, only the office building at Hafenstrasse 15 and the warehouse at Hafenstrasse 13 have survived. Both buildings are now a listed building . The harbor warehouse burned down empty in 2001, was restored in 2008 and is now used as an apartment hotel .
